Vastu Shanti
Why is VastuShanti necessary?
Vastu is a ancient Indian Science which is used while constructing a Vastu (House,
Building, a Structure etc...) which makes a Vastu a perfect place for a human being to
live and/or work. A Vastu created using all the principles of Vastushastra all different
energies existing in the universe like cosmic energy like Solar & Geomagnetic energy are
properly directed & controlled by means of appropriately designing the various
components of the Vastu like doors, windows, walls, ceiling, roof, shape of various parts
of the construction like hall, kitchen, living rooms, bathrooms etc...
However, you do not get an ideally constructed home/building every time. If there are
any imbalances of the energies and the five basic elements (Agni - Fire, Vayu - Air, Jal -
Water, Bhoomi - Earth & Aakash - Ether), stay in such Vastu can become troublesome.
One experiences constant problems in life like failures, illness at times serious disasters.
VastuShanti is one easy way to correct some of the Vastu defect with the help of Mantras
chanted during VastuShanti.
In short VastuShanti of House is a sort of Life Insurance to your house & your family
and VastuShanti for your office is a Life Insurance to your business. Even if you have

once you have it. So do not wait...go for it...earlier the better. Have it from an expert and
who knows what it is.

Yes. If you buy a second hand house VastuShanti is advisable for the reasons given
above. In fact VastuShant is advisable in a rental property also if you are going to stay in
that property for a long duration.
When to perform VastuShanti?

before moving your households into the new home or after moving in. However, it is
